A Little Bit of Cash

"What the hell did you say? Can you bring it to me? I promise I'll give you a good cut," Gerald said.

Yeah, who else could get rid of this much cocaine in one go? I didn't have any facility nor any connection to distribute the coke so Gerald would be the best option to get rid of that cocaine.

In the real world, I wouldn't even call Gerald in the first place. The police would trace this call immediately in real life. However, in GTA:O, if you asked a private army to come after a person, no one would bat an eye.

"Sure thing, G, I want twenty grand for this, do you have the dough or not?" I asked.

"Whatever, man, just come to my crib," Gerald said.

Alright, that was one step to get rid of this coke from this Feltzer. I wouldn't deliver a car to a dealership with its trunk filled with cocaine. It would grab more unwanted attention than it deserved.

▌Go to Gerald's Apartment▐

The GPS showed a yellow circle back in Strawberry Avenue. Well, time to go back to Gerald's house on that avenue and unload this bloody white powder out of this car's trunk. Let's just hope that there wouldn't be any cops pursuing me anymore.

I drove out of the sewer tunnel. Driving out was easy, but one of the exit of that sewer tunnels were in La Mesa, right beside Lester's warehouse. I chose that exit and get out of LS Storm Drain. After that, it was just a matter of making a U-turn and going to Gerald's apartment.

Exiting La Mesa, I entered Strawberry which was more or less Grove Street territory. I parked my car in the alleyway that led to the entrance of Gerald's apartment. I didn't want to get the coke out of my car on my own, I better knocked on Gerald's door first.

I headed for his apartment and knocked on the door of his room. The man wearing glasses came out of his apartment and I led him to the car that was filled with the South American produce. I opened the trunk for him.

"Damn, that's quite a lot of products there," Gerald commented as he looked at the amount of cocaine inside of the car's trunk. There might be 5 kilograms or more, judging from the amount of boxy packages in there.

"Yeah, I wasn't lying, was I? How much would you be willing to pay for it?" I asked him.

"Well, minus distribution cost, 25k should be enough. What do you say?" Gerald said.

"Whatever, as long as you get that trouble the hell away from me," I said.

"Deal."

Gerald headed back to his apartment and retrieved a box. From there, he put all of the small white packages inside of the box, then he closed the trunk of the car. He then gave me an envelope containing the money.

"No need to count it, it's all there," Gerald said.

I retrieved the envelope on my hand. Immediately, there was a notification on the upper left corner of my vision. It showed me the total cash alongside with the amount of cash that I retrieved from Gerald.

However. there was no RP reward yet since the mission wasn't completed yet. The objective changed into a command to tell me to get back into the car. I entered the car and a yellow blip appeared on the mini-map again.

◄Go to Simeon's Dealership►

As I drove my car towards Premium Deluxe Motorsport, I looked at the surrounding area. It seemed that Los Santos never changed, even years after the game's development. Then again, this was still way before the event of Grand Theft Auto V started.

I parked the car on the back of the dealership. In the back, I saw both Franklin and Lamar, alongside with Simeon.

"Dog, what did you do to the car? Damn, that used to be one sexy ass motherfucker," Lamar approached the Feltzer that was filled with bullet holes.

"He just escaped the fucking NOOSE, what are you really expecting?" Franklin intervened.

"The car... What have you done?" Simeon sounded more than worried, hell, borderline pissed.

I didn't know which cars both Franklin and Lamar repossessed, but it sure as heck that there was no other car in the showroom that was riddled with bullets coming from a 5.56 carbine rifle.

"Listen, Simeon, I'm sorry, but it looks like this car has something to do with the NOOSE," Franklin said.

"NOOSE? Fine, I'll have it ready on the road tomorrow. By the way, I have siphoned your pay to Franklin, so, just ask him," Simeon said.

"Yeah, I'll wire up the payment to you," Franklin said as he grabbed his phone.

I immediately got the notification of the money wiring. It wasn't much, but it was certainly complete the mission, marked by the increase in RP and increase in money,

Almost 40 grand. It was enough for now, I'd be able to buy more advanced weapons, such as the special carbine which had a laser-like accuracy. Lamar and Franklin headed to Simeon's office while I was alone in the parking lot of the dealership.

What else did Los Santos have to offer me, now? I hadn't taken any tour around the town, to be honest. Let's see, there was a theater in vinewood, a mall, a nightclub, a racing activity, etc. Hmm, did It have something else in mind?

First thing first, I needed a better weapon and I knew a place to get it.
